Player Discussion Alex Tuch (acquired via trade from VGK)

[Butt Ox]

Tuch is so much what I wanted ROR to be.

Tuch for me draws parallels to Briere - the exuberance for his teammates and embrace of the area? Reminds me of Danny.

I think DB represented Sabredom well. His absolute joy. Do you recall that vid where he and the wee'un were shooting pucks at the windows at what looked to be an abandoned factory? Breaking windows and goofing around. Dude, that's every single one of us right there.

At some point we need to talk about how Danny passed time when he was first traded to Buffalo.

if they were winning people would want to…but in year a million of being bad it’s mostly going to be young guys without a choice and veterans wanting to stay in the show. And Alex Tuch…who wants to be here more than anyone I’ve ever seen no matter how good they are. Love him.

You know he really wants to be here if he's filing plans to build a 10,000-square foot house.

Sabres right winger Alex Tuch to build house in Clarence subdivision

Jurek Builders will construct the 10,311-square-foot house, according to plans filed with the Town of Clarence Building Department.

He's really been everything we've hoped for and more at this point.

Tuch is an absolute gem. Props to the one poster here who was pushing to acquire Tuch back when he was still on Minnesota. Love his competitiveness and he is skilled. He will be the Sabre with the 10+ year stint here that we thought Eichel would be.

Was that Jaeger? I know I wanted him back then but can't remember posting much about it.

Yeah @Der Jaeger has beaten that drum a long, long time. Good to see how this has all worked out too.

I believe so, though there may have been more than one?

A bunch of posters were also all-in on draftiung Krebs too, Jame being one of the more vocal supporters if memory serves..

*raises hand*

Though I was not as keen after the Achilles. He did not care.

I didn't care either. I was pretty much equal on Krebs, Dach and Cozens -- I think us two were among the only ones who were fine wit hthe Cozens pick?

The one guy I didn't like in that group was Zegras

I wanted Turcotte the most, and Zegras with the Cozens pick.

Hey, I didn't like the Myers pick and in a mock draft took both Risto and Zadorov back in the day... stuff happens.

I'm curious how the Hab rivalry gets dialed up if Luke makes it to the Canadiens' roster. It would probably be even more so if Luke decides to stay for two more years at BU before jumping to the Sabres.

They do have a need for some physical bangers with size. By the time Luke is old enough, Okposo may be retired and Gus might not be in Buffalo.

Well said! A direct parallel for sure!

I think everyone wanted Turcotte but we all knew he wasn't an option for Buffalo.

I had Turcotte as #2 in that draft. Zegras was 12ish.

I wanted him pretty bad at 7 but didn't hate them for picking Cozens.

that is just such a boss play. His points may have tapered off slightly, but I think the team racking up points has a lot to do with his play and mentality on the ice rubbing off on those around him.
